You even know meaning of COIN operation, local intelligence, creating civil authorities?
Both go hand in hand.. If you were such an idiot .. You could have googled "Intel led operations - Zarb e Azab".. It's not really hard to do so!
As for creating civil authorities .. Kid that's the govts job.. FATA was never really a settled region it is/was a federally administered tribal area-- which was ruled by local tribal laws and the only give authority present was a political agent much like the colonial system.
Reforms are being taken but reforms can't transform a region with millions in an year or two.
There is local/civil administration in SWAT valley which was captured in 2009?
Swat is a part of KPK province not FATA .. It always had local/civil administration ... The reason it fell to the Taliban was douchebagery by spineless govt which was scared to talk action -- begging for negotiations or a peaceful way out.
High grounds tactics use in Conventional warfare, not in establishing law&order situation.
Unless you are out to govern a small town ... You idiots don't know jack about the region,history,society or topography of the region and act like experts!
Even in Afghanistan .. US & ANA has constructed similiar posts in violate border regions.
Read how India done COIN op in Punjab, and now going on against Maoist and NE.
Please don't show your stupidity by comparing low intensity insurgencies in plains of Punjab or forests of NE..
Insurgencies can't even survive in areas/terrain like that even with local support..and lightly armed civilians hiding in maze fields and bush... etc etc.
They use this for direct fire assault?
Yes smart *** .. Tanks are win used in Afghanistan for both direct and indirect confrontation ... Google it!
What a great RoE this is.
Indeed and it's showing results.. Shawal was the only Talib strong hold left... Now even that is almost done.. No more Talib hideouts,strongholds = drastic decrease in terrorism.
As for 7 lac troops & Human rights violation, watch this.
Stop posting nonsense.. I can post amnesty,HRGC and other reports..
